Abraham opened the scoring early on with his first senior goal for Chelsea before Todd Cantwell levelled from close range.

In-form Teemu Pukki then grabbed a second equaliser before half-time after Mount had struck.

Chelsea were more dominant in the second half and had a Kurt Zouma goal ruled out by VAR – with Abraham’s second settling an entertaining contest.

Lampard, whose third child was born last year, had not managed a win in his first three games in charge but has no grand plans to celebrate his maiden victory.

Asked if he had given himself a chance to celebrate, the former Chelsea midfielder replied: “If celebration means a couple of glasses of wine while watching the baby monitor this evening and watching Match of the Day, then that will be it. That’s the way life is these days!

“They are not necessarily local boys, not in the modern way of football because players are from all over the world.

“But I think they enjoy seeing something because if you come through the academy here you should feel the club, if you work daily and come through at a young age your absolute desire is to do that.”

Norwich, on the back of an impressive win over Newcastle last weekend, played their part – especially in the first half.

Daniel Farke’s side had not lost a home league game since Lampard prevailed with Derby in December and Pukki continued his fine start to the season with an assist for Cantwell and his fifth goal in three games.

Ben Godfrey almost rescued a point when he headed against the crossbar, with Farke ruing the defending for Abraham’s winner.

“We conceded early but I knew the lads would react to a setback,” said the Norwich boss. “I can trust my players. For me, a draw at half-time was a fair result. They had spells, we had spells.

“In the second half for the first 15 minutes they put a lot of pressure on us and were the better side. You have to expect this. Chelsea at this level will be able to dominate for a spell against Norwich.

“They score out of a counter when we are two against one. That was disappointing.”
